Alverton Hotel

We often hear people say they think our cards are good enough to frame. Well, the Alverton Hotel in Truro, Cornwall, has done just that. Using the work of Lizzy Stewart and Tom Frost as part of the decor in their newly refurbished brasserie and bar.

With thanks to Kate at our Falmouth stockist Here and Now, who kindly sent us these photos.

Have you got any of our cards of wrapping paper hanging on your walls? Send us a photo, we'd love to see them.

Our final new range for this spring is a vibrant series of  'Animal Habitat' cards by Sarah Andreacchio

Currently living in Rouen, France, Sarah's designs are full of joyful animals and plants. She experiments with various techniques including gouache, papercut collages, and computer based illustration. These are brought to life with unusual palette choices and large blocks of colour, producing beautifully simple, exuberant results.

Sarah also writes a blog called ‘My Vintage Avenue‘ devoted to children's book illustration of the 1950s, which is where we first encountered her. The work of artists from that era such as Abner Graboff, Stig Lindberg, Miroslav Sasek and many others have all influenced her style.

If you are interested in seeing more of Sarah's work, and to buy prints or original artwork by Sarah, head on over to her website: cargocollective.com/sarahandreacchio
